HID: hidraw, fix a NULL pointer dereference in hidraw_ioctl
commit d20d5ffab92f00188f360c44c791a5ffb988247c upstream. BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028 IP: [<ffffffffa02c66b4>] hidraw_ioctl+0xfc/0x32c [hid] [...] This is reproducible by disconnecting the device while userspace does ioctl in a loop and doesn't check return values in order to exit the loop. [PG: slightly/trivially reworked for backport to 34] Signed-off-by: Antonio Ospite <ospite@studenti.unina.it> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
